CONTENTS

Whereas I am informed - That certain Congressional - bounty Land Warrants - belonging to citizens of Virginia - have been returned to the War Office, now at the City of Washington - which many years ago - Genl. George Matthews - did in behalf of his several officers entitled thereto, obtain for them and had caused the same to be placed in the hands of William Alexander of the State of Pennsylvania - at that time - Surveyor of Military Lands which Land Warrants, it is apprehended have not been located or otherwise acted on for the benefit of the Gentlemen concerned
The Vouchers having been deposited with me for the infor- -mation of the individuals interested therein - I have this day deli- -vered the originals thereof - for the satisfaction of the Honble. the Secretary of War, to James Taylor esq. of Campbell County of State of Kentucky - apprehending from the scattered & distant situa- -tion of the several Gentlemen - that the time limited for locating the military united States bounty lands, may expire - before they can be informed of this very unexpected state of things - they as well as myself believing the needful - had long since been effected - And I hereby in behalf of myself (Robert Gamble) - of Robert Porterfield - David Stephenson - William Robert -son & John Steele John Hays & Robert Kirk - (They having severally confided to me originally to do and act for them respecting the same - as for myself) do Request. The Honble. the Secretary of War to deliver to the said James Taylor esq. such Land Warrants as may have been thus returned to the War Office - (if not alienated or transferred) that he may be enabled to locate - survey - patent & secure the same - for the benefit of the individual Gentlemen respecting - conformably to an agreement this day made & concluded with him the said James Taylor - in behalf of myself and my several friends enumerated in the said receipts & Vouchers, then delivered to him - which had as afore said been deposited with me
